[PATCH net V2] net: phy: motorcomm: read EEE abilities in yt8521_get_features()

[xiaoning.wang]

From: Clark Wang <xiaoning.wang@nxp.com>

In phy_probe(), genphy_c45_read_eee_abilities() is only called when a
driver uses phydrv->features. Drivers that implement .get_features are
responsible for reading the EEE abilities themselves.

yt8521_get_features() does not do this, so phydev->supported_eee stays
empty for YT8521/YT8531S and "ethtool --show-eee" reports "EEE status:
not supported", even though the PHY has the standard EEE capability
registers.

Call genphy_c45_read_eee_abilities() at the end of yt8521_get_features()
to populate supported_eee.

V2 change:
 - Since both the YT8521 and YT8531s, which call the yt8521_get_features(),
   support EEE, if genphy_c45_read_eee_abilities() returns an error, it
   indicates a problem with MDIO bus, and the error should be returned
   accordingly.

Using a ? like this is very uncommon.

Please change it to the usual

        if (ret < 0)
               return ret;

	return genphy_c45_read_eee_abilities(phydev);

It might also be better to put the test after
yt8521_get_features_paged() call, since that is the only place missing
the test.
